Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
27. 1. Jinn are called jinn because they are not visible to the eyes. In Surah Rahman, the creation of jinn is mentioned (مَّارِجٍ مِّنْ نَّارٍ) 55. Ar-Rahman:15), and in a Sahih Muslim hadith, it is stated that in this regard, "scorching" fire or a flame of fire will have the same meaning.
